Abstract

Education is a cornerstone of Uganda's national development, with science education prioritized in Vision 2040 to foster technological innovation, industrialization, and global competitiveness. However, disparities in resource allocation, inadequate teacher training, and weak administrative practices have hindered science education, particularly in rural schools. This study examines the role of school administration in shaping the academic achievement of science students in Uganda. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 15 schools, including urban areas like Kampala and rural districts such as Gulu and Mbale. The study involved 200 school administrators, 300 teachers, and 500 students, combining surveys and in-depth interviews to explore administrative practices, resource distribution, and teacher support. Findings reveal that effective school leadership significantly enhances science education outcomes, with urban schools outperforming rural ones due to better infrastructure, qualified teachers, and proactive administration. In contrast, rural schools face challenges including resource shortages, overcrowded classrooms, and weak leadership. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to strengthen administrative capacities, reduce urban-rural disparities, and improve science education outcomes. It recommends equitable resource allocation, professional development for teachers, and evidence-based leadership practices. Future research should explore the long-term impact of administrative reforms through longitudinal studies and investigate the role of community and stakeholder involvement in supporting school administration.

Abstract

China is facing a profound demographic shift characterized by declining birth rates, a rapidly aging population, and significant urban-rural disparities. Despite phasing out the one-child policy in 2015 and introducing two-child and three-child policies, the total fertility rate (TFR) fell below 1.0 in 2024, far below the replacement level of 2.1. These trends have led to negative population growth and a rising dependency ratio, projected to reach 60.3% by 2024. This demographic imbalance exacerbates labor shortages, increases labor costs, and places immense strain on healthcare and pension systems, particularly in rural areas where social service access remains inadequate. While similar challenges are evident in aging societies like Japan and South Korea, China’s regional disparities and economic scale complicate policy implementation. This study identifies gaps in addressing the structural challenges hindering fertility policies, including economic pressures, cultural resistance, and inequities between urban and rural regions. Employing secondary data analysis, trend analysis, and comparative case studies, this research evaluates demographic trends from 2020 to 2024 and assesses the effectiveness of current policies. Findings reveal the limited success of China’s pronatalist policies and underscore the urgent need for comprehensive reforms. Recommendations include targeted investments in rural areas, affordable childcare, gender-equitable policies, and technological adoption to mitigate labor shortages. Future research should explore global lessons, public attitudes, and innovative strategies to address the socio-economic implications of demographic shifts, offering insights for sustainable policy design in aging societies.

Abstract

This study examines the intricate relationship between colonization and environmental destruction in Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. Drawing on Ferdinand Malcolm's theory of decolonial ecology, it argues that colonial activities in Dune not only dehumanize and subjugate indigenous populations, as articulated in Fanon's postcolonial theory, but also severely exploit and damage the planet’s environment. The indigenous people, faced with ecological devastation and cultural erasure, initiate a decolonization process aimed at reclaiming their land, identity, and agency while simultaneously working to restore the environment. However, the narrative ultimately reveals the failure of this decolonization movement as a new tyrannical figure emerges, perpetuating the cycle of colonization and exploitation. This study employs a qualitative methodology, combining critical analysis with decolonial and postcolonial theoretical frameworks. Key scenes and visuals in the film are analyzed to explore their symbolic representations of ecological exploitation and resistance. By linking narrative and theory, the study highlights Dune’s reflection of contemporary issues surrounding colonialism, environmental degradation, and the challenges of achieving meaningful decolonization.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between Japan's work culture and the mental health of its workers, focusing on stress, anxiety, and depression caused by long working hours and high productivity demands. Japan’s work culture, which emphasizes loyalty to the company and endurance, has contributed to a significant rise in mental health issues. Despite efforts by the government and companies to reduce overtime and provide mental health support, the policies implemented so far have proven insufficient in addressing the root causes of workplace stress. This research incorporates in-depth interviews, surveys, and case studies from workers across both private and public sectors. The findings indicate a strong correlation between long working hours and elevated stress levels, with workers in the private sector, younger employees, and women experiencing higher levels of anxiety and stress. Policies like flexible work hours, mental health programs, and reduced overtime showed positive impacts on well-being, but their inconsistent implementation limits their effectiveness. The study concludes that policies must go beyond reducing working hours and incorporate structural changes in workplace culture. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of these reforms, explore sector-specific mental health needs, and consider gendered aspects of work-related stress.

Abstract

Algeria's political transitions, marked by constitutional amendments in 2016 and 2020, have sparked efforts to integrate democratic principles and civic values into educational frameworks. This study examines the dynamics of citizenship education in the context of Algeria's political reforms. The research explores citizenship education's role in fostering civic participation and aligning educational content with national democratic aspirations. The methodology employs a mixed-methods approach, conducted throughout 2023, involving 500 respondents, including educators, policymakers, and students from diverse locations such as Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Tlemcen, and Setif. Quantitative surveys assess perceptions and effectiveness, while qualitative interviews and focus groups provide deeper insights into stakeholders' experiences and expectations. Findings reveal that citizenship education in Algeria demonstrates significant potential in promoting civic engagement and aligning with democratic ideals. However, challenges persist, such as balancing traditional cultural values with modern democratic principles, ensuring adequate teacher training, and addressing political constraints that hinder open dialogue. The discussion highlights the need for a comprehensive curriculum, participatory teaching methods, and a political environment conducive to civic learning. Future research could explore sector-specific impacts of citizenship education and the long-term outcomes of integrating democratic principles into curricula. These insights could guide policymakers and educators in designing more effective educational reforms tailored to Algeria's unique socio-political context.
